So mommy went to the hospital for them to watch her and me....I was still in her tummy. They gave her some really mean medicine......it made me sleepy and it made mommy feel like she was "burning alive" and had a really bad flu. But mommy told me I had to stay in her tummy for a little longer because I wasn't ready. Mommy's blood pressure came down and she started to feel better the next day but then the doctor said she wanted to start mommy on another medicine to make her have me. Mommy was very scared but excited that she would meet me soon. The medicine made it so I got squeezed every few minutes......I didn't like it.
Then later in the day all my fluid I'd been floating in was taken away. Things got really tight in mommy's tummy so I decided to retreat as far up as I could go. It got so tight during the night in her tummy that I kept getting scared and my heart kept slowing down. I really really didn't like it......eventually I wasn't getting squeezed anymore....I liked that much better. The next morning they tried to start the medicine on mommy again but I still wasn't happy with it so Dr. Borden talked to mommy about options of having me. She told mommy that she didn't think she could have me "the old fashioned way" whatever that is.
Mommy was very sad and cried but knew it was for the best to bring me here as safe as possible. A few minutes later we went into a really cold room and the next thing I knew I was outside of mommy's tummy. I heard mommy ask daddy what I was and he told her I was a boy........she said "You were right!" She didn't know what I was??? I think she was surprised...she sure sounded like it. I was so shocked about being outside mommy's tummy I didn't know what to think so I was really quiet until my Papi told me I could make a noise......so I made a tiny squeak. Do you know how cold that room was?
There were all kinds of visitors telling me to make some noises and to cry but I just wanted to see my mommy so I was trying to be a good boy. After a little but though I got frustrated and starting crying since they kept asking me too. My daddy came over to see me under this warm thing and was talking to me. He looks just like me! Daddy says I was tired and quiet while the other visitors prodded me. They weighed me and did all kinds of measurements.
Finally daddy had the nurse walk me over to meet my mommy!!!! I'd been with her for 9 months and listening to her voice so I couldn't wait to see her face.... she was crying but smiling really big and telling me how much she loved me. I love her so much too! All too soon they took me away to the nursery and I met some of my other family on the way. I met my gram, aunt Danielle, cousin Riley, cousin Luci, uncle Kevin, uncle Tim and aunt Cindy. In the nursery I got a really weird feeling. The nurse ended up sticking my foot and giving me a bottle right away because my blood sugar was low. Little did I know this would be the beginning of a long journey for me at the hospital........more to follow!
